Thread Name: interpretation of traditonal songs
Subject: RE: interpretation of traditonal songs
I think I've got to an age when I can't remember how I interpreted the song last time I sang it, let alone how I sang it when I first learnt it.... I still find that there are songs I sing with my eyes open as a performance for the audience and songs (especially ballads) I sing with my eyes closed because I am concentrating on the song and don't want to be distracted by an audience.

When MCP and I recorded "Dark the Day" with Mick's version of Lord Gregory, he had a different guitar accompaniment depending whether the words were coming from Lord Gregory, his mother or the mother of his child (lass of Lochroyan) whom he done wrong.
